Abstract
Landed in a sunny and hot London, there were no reasons to miss this shooting.
For the first time ever everything went smooth. Models and MUA confirmed easily by Thursday. Nice location (a very posh student house). Designer confused since the beginning. Teammates completely exited by a bridal dress made from recycled materials (I missed this part, but I saw the excitement in their eyes). We are completely insane. But, once again, we saw an Angel and probably we have been for few seconds to Paradise.
Introduction
This is the first shot of the day and as usual it is not a good one. Damn I must be a kind of an old style diesel engine. The model is Danielle, Scottish. The MUA, Namima, did a great job although I think she has to practice a bit to be a bit faster.
Materials and Methods
I used the CLS system in order to have a sync speed of @1/4000 and to use a wide aperture. A "slave" SB800, camera left behind a white umbrella and triggered by a METZ 58AF2, did its dirty work on the model.
Results
The composition and the point of view are quite boring. But I like the fact I had the “concept” of this shot on my mind as soon as I saw the location.
Discussion
I didn’t emphasize too much the background as I wanted. The key point of this shoot was the background and I’ve been silly not to bend to catch more sky.
To be honest I must say that the designer was harassing me shouting at me because she wanted to change the dress to the model. “You have just 5 minutes” “We need to change the dress!” “there is the make up to do” “5 minutes” “5 minutes” “5 minutes” “5 minutes”.
In any case life is beautiful because you never stop to learn.
Acknowledgements
